Layover by David Bell

4.0

I don’t typically like thrillers but this one was good! It has short chapters so it’s easy to pick up when you have a chance.

Modern Love: True Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption by Andrew Rannells, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Veronica Chambers, Daniel Jones, Ayelet Waldman

Some really cute stories! I loved them all. They vary from family love stories to more personal ones. I love the variety.

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

5.0

It’s such a cute story. Heartbreaking, but full of teenage awkward love.

Don't You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane

4.0

I read this book in 100 page clumps! I couldn't put it down once I started. It follows the story of Georgina, she feels lost in her life, her family giving her crap for not doing better things with her life, and always dating shitty men. When she helps out at a gig, she has no idea how it will change her life! I think many women will be able to relate to Georgina and her situations.

Five Feet Apart by Tobias Iaconis, Mikki Daughtry, Rachael Lippincott

3.0

It was a great beginning but it felt like there needed to be more detail. Poe just dies but no one know why, it’s just so sudden. An then out of nowhere Stella gets new lungs and then Will leaves? Then 8 months later they see each other in an airport. It all just ends oddly and without a purpose.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

5.0

My 3rd Rainbow Rowell book! It’s so hard to put her books down. There are so many unexpected events that occur and with each one I’m on the edge of my seat. It’s a lovely book full of fan fiction, love, family troubles, and just pure nervousness. I love the lists of firsts that Cath experiences through the book.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

4.0

I loved having multiple POV for this story, is follows the 4 kids who are being investigated for murder. The whole story and crime is really detailed and laid out. Through the whole story I was trying to think about who did it. I loved the dynamics between characters and how they all interacted and intertwined with each other’s lives. Plus who doesn’t love a good romance ! The ending was great too, made me so happy after such a low in the story. I can’t wait for the next book.

Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory

5.0

This story is adorable, It is about a middle-aged couple who meets in London under unique circumstances. I romance in this book is old aged, pure, and just extremely honest. There are so many emotions that come into play and many difficulties but are they up for the challenge? You must read this book to find out!

We Met in December by Rosie Curtis

4.0

My favourite part of this book is that it follows two people who have completely uprooted their safe careers in order to pursue their dreams. It takes a lot of bravery to do this and I admire them both for risking so much. Them meeting in this house share is cute but comes with a few strict rules. Over the course of the year, the two of them spend so much time exploring London together and growing their friendship. Anyone would love to read this lovely story.
